You can
download the permit application or pick one up at any police station. Each application must be signed and submitted with a $30.00 permit fee (business or residential).
Each application should be filled out and mailed to the Edmonton Police Service Headquarters with a cheque or money order. You may also drop off the application at any police station. Your permit and permit sticker will then be mailed to you within 4-10 days.
The City of Edmonton bylaw states everyone must have a Alarm Permit and is intended to promote the responsible use of alarm systems and intended to reduce the number of false alarms requiring a response from emergency responders.
Customers must provide their alarm company with their permit number, as it is required by the EPS for dispatching officers on a alarm call. Police will NOT respond to non-permitted, non monitored alarms unless a indication of criminal activity is present.
If you move or no longer use the alarm system, your permit requires cancellation. Please contact the Alarm Program Office at 780-421-3410.
Permits are required for all Alarm Systems. Section 2(b) of Alarm Systems Bylaw #10922 defines an “Alarm System” as: “any device which detects an unauthorized entry to, or an Emergency on a Premises.” This includes ATM’s.
